What do you do in your free time? "I enjoy dancing or taking sunset walks by the lake."

What other extracuricular activities are you involved in? "I serve as treasurer for the National Organization of Minority Architecture Students (Notre Dame chapter), Producer for Transpose Dance Collective, member of the Notre Dame Real Estate Club, McInerney Fellow, and Transformational Leaders Program Scholar."

Why CPI? "CPI brings together my architecture major, real estate minor, and my faith. It allows me to cultivate my talents and interests while also shaping them toward making a positive impact."

Which CPI project has been most interesting to you? "I especially enjoyed working on the corporation structure project, where I analyzed the ownership structures of all U.S. Roman Catholic dioceses and learned more about the legal side of real estate. Beyond that, I always enjoy projects that involve ArcGIS."

What are your career aspirations? "I am still exploring my exact career path, but I hope my experiences in real estate and CPI will help me understand architecture from all perspectives. Ultimately, I want to design buildings and sacred spaces that not only express stories, heritage, and history, but also serve the needs of their communities."
